I’m Getting Engaged in 2016
“I’m Getting Engaged in 2016!” I heard someone say that yesterday, and I thought “So am I”. Of course, hers meant making a commitment to getting married, but in my case, it’s about being less distracted and more on-purpose to give my full attention to those I encounter. It’s looking into someone’s eyes when they…
EXCEL in 2016
Home sweet home after 22 days in Texas and Washington over the Christmas holidays. Precious times away, and excited now to EXCEL in 2016. Those incredible 22 days were topped off, yesterday, when many of our Unstoppable Summit attendees went to Elevate Life Church to worship and praise God together. And to hear a…
Outlook and Perspective
The 2016 Unstoppable Leadership Summit in Texas continued today with incredible sessions that always radically impact us with a new outlook and perspective for this new year. I loved it when we all received black rimmed glasses (outlook & perspective) with an arrow on the sides — trajectory. Set-backs are like an arrow that is…
The Warrior Mentality
We all have defining moments that either make or break us. Whichever they are — God will use them for our good. Our destiny and purpose is wrapped up in each and every one of them. It’s that “stuff” that causes the aha moments — those moments that seemed like the worst of worst times,…
We’ve Only Just Begun
That was one of our favorite songs (released in 1970) by The Carpenters. The characters in the song were a couple, just married, and were looking forward to new horizons, new roads to choose, with so much life ahead of them. We sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead….but as long as we…
She Laughs
“She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she LAUGHS without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25. I sure want to be this woman. This scripture speaks of a woman who embodies the balance of strength — she is strong, holding it all together, while being able to laugh in the face of fear. She’s…
What Are YOU Pointing At?
What Are YOU Pointing At? Yesterday my daughter, Staci, shared a story with me about a friend who was “delighting” in sharing about his young granddaughter. She’s not talking much yet, but she sure can point to what she wants. She knows that whatever she points to — she’s going to get. In fact, her…
Time to Recalibrate
The navigation system on my phone and in my car is one of the greatest technologies to be invented. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times that the sweet lady’s voice saved my day when I’m trying to find a particular address. Oftentimes, she’ll tell me to turn at the next exit…
Life is Good. Life is Fun.
It’s an awesome Sunday when you start with a spectacular view of The Olympic Mts to the West, Mt Rainier to the South and then having an amazing time of praising and worshipping God, seeing over 15 people baptized at The City Church in Kirkland, WA — home church for many of the Seattle Seahawks’…
Living on the LIGHT SIDE
Living on the Light Side I must be on Star Wars overload. Watching the newest episode 3 times, as well as watching several of the earlier episodes with my two youngest grandsons, and seeing them donning their Star Wars costumes and light sabers over the last week, caused me to ponder the notion of the…
